| On busy restaurant row, Cedar’s is never packed, but the patrons know authentic Middle Eastern cuisine and come from miles around to savor garlicky hummus, tabbouleh, and deep-fried falafel and kibbeh. Our favorite entrées include the grape leaves stuffed with minced lamb and rice; and bemieh, a rich dish of stewed okra, tender lamb, cilantro and garlic in an aromatic tomato sauce. Friendly, efficient service and a spotless dining room make the meal a pleasure. Less-adventurous palates will enjoy classic lamb, beef or chicken kebabs served with crisp french fries and steamed vegetables. And vegetarians will find plenty to like, from spinach pies to fresh salads and spreads like mohumara (made from walnuts and roasted red peppers), shanklish (dry cheese reminiscent of feta sprinkled with herbs) and smoky eggplant spread---all served with freshly baked pita bread. If you want to see the talented belly dancer, make plans to dine Saturday night at 10 p.m., the only time there's a show---and the only night you might need a reservation. |
